What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Glass contamination in an oral medication represents a risk-of-harm scenario where physical foreign objects could cause injury if ingested. No injuries have been reported to date, but the hazard is real and serious. This meets the rubric criterion for score 3: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
